But how does one sleep in a furnace? 🥵🥵🥵

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water ffs.

The system is built to defend the status quo of the patriarchy. Diabolical.

With this EHRC nonsense focusing quite heavily on toilet use, I return to a point I have made on here before. Most public toilets have a sign saying "male and female cleaners in operation" so with this new ruling, a male cleaner can go in the women's loo...and a trans woman can't. Absolute madness

Scientists believe that a function of a zebra’s stripes is to deter insects, so a team of researchers painted black and white stripes on several cows and discovered that it reduced the number of biting flies landing on the cows by more than 50%.

I’ve said this before but, do you know why the new EHRC guidance doesn’t make any sense? it’s because when you try to write clear laws or guidelines based on bigotry, they don’t make sense. they can’t. because they’re not coming from a place of reason, they’re coming from fear and hate

I don’t think anything sums up how ridiculous the new EHRC guidance is than the fact it describes those protected by the characteristic of gender reassignment to be those undergoing a process to “reassign their sex”, a thing the exact same part of the document says isn’t legally possible. Nonsense.

In the past month or so I have had customer service interactions to fight for an incorrect Transport for London charge, a refund for damaged medicine received and a potentially dangerous 'glutening' at a chain restaurant. I'm not saying Coeliac has cured me of 'people-pleasing' but...it has helped!

Not to be holier than thou about it but I've never watched MAFS as it always gave me a weird ick vibe. Love plenty of trashy dating tv...but never that one. Turns out I was right...

My obsession with milk alternatives has gone a bit oaty tea.

If the organisers of #Eurovision felt as tense as I hear lots of people at home did last night, maybe that's their sign that a certain country shouldn't be there...

Well done @happytoast.co.uk for such speedy sketching. I very much enjoyed seeing your interpretation of the entries! A #Eurovision highlight!

Been watching some old Richard Scarry VHS rips with my son, and found an outstanding reaction image, especially for ill-conceived fast food items!

First time in a while we're having a break. We decided since it's good for coeliacs to go to London. Booked everything up. Tube strikes the entire time we are there, starting an hour before we arrive, ending 30 minutes before we leave.

We all know they are going to be shocking at running Councils. They'll maybe lose support before the next election but some new party will pop up for the racists. The lion is out the cage now - people feel like they get to be racist without consequence. They'll vote whoever legitimizes their hatred

Oh good. Another day in the stupid country.

Jokes about the way Yoda speaks are out of order.

Been listening to the Archive of Pop Culture podcast about the 'It's a Royal knockout' in the 80's ...made me laugh at this line from the beeb... "The new arrival - who will not be an HRH - will be 15th in line to the throne, moving ahead of their great-uncle the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward."

Went to #DyrhamPark National Trust at the weekend. In the tulip meadow I overheard a woman say "It's food for the soul isn't it" which I thought was rather lovely...

Jewellery. Horrible word.

Ray was kind enough to send me a PDF in advance and it’s another triumph of terror and losing control in the mundane. It feels all too real. Can’t wait to pick a copy up.

Extremely bold claims on #GreatBritishMenu the best #STP? We're going to need STP guy to get in on this...

Looking at over 12 hours out the house for a work day and this might tip me over the edge First Bus...

Every woman I know was horrified by the Pelicot case. That level of betrayal. That level of disrespect for bodily autonomy and consent. This week my social media has been flooded by the hits to *THAT* website and I just feel numb about it all. It's widespread. We're broken as society. Misogyny won.

Sorry now. But who on earth wrote the Mothers character in #thewalshsisters Absolutely shocking! I’d have been raging playing her. No. I don’t act.

We all agree that the Mum is the absolute bad guy in #TheWalshSisters right. She is so unbelievably awful...it kinda ruins watching for me

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion
